Introducing The Rehab Studios at Dorothy Love

0

SIDNEY — The idea of a dedicated Rehabilitation area at Dorothy Love started over a year ago with one basic thought; “We can do better.” This simple statement then grew into a plan and that resulted in the impressive $1.5 million Rehab Studios at Dorothy Love.

The Rehab Studios accommodates 13 guests in spacious private studios with in-room showers, flat-screen TVs, power-lift recliners and window views was dedicated on Sept. 30, 2015.

The Rehab Studios feature common areas that invite guests out of their suites to meet new people, relax and recover. Delicious cooked-to-order meals are available in an appealing dining room or delivered to a guest’s studio upon request.

“Our guests are in charge,” said Dorothy Love Executive Director Tricia Atwood. “We’re their partner in wellness, and our goal is to make sure the time they spend with us mirrors their lifestyles.”

Her report continues:

The center’s dynamic therapy gym includes advanced equipment as well as a modern kitchen and bathroom for guest to practice daily tasks with occupational therapists. Expertly trained, certified therapists and staff work with guests on speech, mobility, and other daily tasks. The new therapy area in the Rehab Studios is equipped to treat all conditions. Each short term rehab patient receives an individualized treatment plan that includes a home evaluation and the ordering of all necessary durable medical equipment for a safe return home.

We’re preparing our guests for a successful, confident return home after hospitalization for illness or surgery.

When individuals have more extensive health care needs, we offer the finest nursing care available.

We are excited to offer this much needed service to the residents of Shelby and surrounding counties. The Rehab Studios at Dorothy Love will enable us to increase the range of services we provide to the residents and outside community members in a unique, yet comfortable setting. “I feel like I am home already.” “This looks like a 5 star hotel” are but just a few of the comments we have received since the opening in September, 2015.

At Dorothy Love, our mission is to provide older adults with caring and quality services towards the enhancement of physical, mental and spiritual well-being consistent with the Christian Gospel. The addition of the Rehab Studios is another way we are striving to fulfill that mission.

Dorothy Love will continue to see growth in 2016 as we expand our services. Thanks to the support of the OPRS Foundation and local donors we will enhance the Therapy gym and add a cutting edge Aquatic Therapy Pool. The HydroWorx 2000 is the only one of its kind in the Sidney/Shelby County community. Dorothy Love will be able to offer services to members of the community of all ages. This will be an exciting addition to our campus and the greater community.
